Another Painful A accident.

GALVESTON, Texas, March 15.-Wreck-
Master Nelson, of the International aud
Great Northern Railroad, early this
morning left lot of cars near Neches to
be loaded with wood, and with an en-
gine and crew of ten men proceeded to
Prices Switch, fourteen miles east of
Palestine, to collect the debris OF the pas
senger train wrecked at that place on
Sunday morning last. When half mile
this side of the switch the engine flew
from the track and was hurled against the
high embankment, crashing itself 10
pieces and scalding and wounding more
or less severely every man of the crew.
The spine OF John Finley, colored
laborer, was broken, and he will die.
Wreckmaster Nelson was badly scalded
and cut on the arm and head. Section
Foreman j. McElyea had his left arm
broken In two places and arm and hand
terribly scalded. Young McGowan was
badly scalded on the legs, and machinist
was scslded on the head and face. From
the nature OF the catastrophe 1t is miracu-
lous that no more than one life was lost.
TIE cause OF the accident is believed to
have been a brake-shoe dropping on the
track. The badly injured were brought
in and placed In the company's hospital
this evening.

that they would do the same for him.
DIR. Marks made n brief address, In

those present would follow him wher.
ever he went. When the meeting

and shOog hands with Mr.. Mills, while

q casual conversation that the past two
weeks had given them fresh encourage.
Nearly all said that they could see q
large increase in the conversations
since the meetings began.
Mr.. Mills said last night that during
the during the two weeks OF his stay
here over 800 persons had become in.
quirers, and over 800 had given him
their names as desiring to become chris

the same to pastors Of the churches

pied colored girl whom they found In
the almshouse. There is now some hone
OF her becoming self.supporiing instead
OF remaining . charge upon the county
all her life. While this case comes under
what 10 known as the dependent class,
u leads us naturally to the question:
What is Delaware doing for her defec.
tive classes, viz: insane, idiots, blind
and deaf and dumb?' According to the
Gems us Of 1850 there were In this State
1893 Insane, 269 idots or feeble. minded, i,
1N blind, and "a deaf and dumb.
Almost the whole Of these are growing
mp burden upon their relatives or
friends, or charge upon the respective
counties In which they live.
This seems like . sad verifcation Of
mans inhumsnity TO man. and at the
same time 1t 10 very poor political
economy. Almost all OF the deaf and
dumb and blind aud large number of
the feeble minded might be made use-
full and self-eupporting citizens II prop.

made for two Of each class from each of
the three counties TO be sent to ipstitu-
tions in Psnnsy lvania, bat what 10 that
out OF so large o uumbei?' Either the
law should be changed to include Q
much larger number or Delaware should
make provision within her own borders
| for her own detectives. These uDfortu.
mates, many OF whom are poor, should
be made the special wards OF the State.
There is no class of society which calls
30 loudly for 8, mpsthy as those who
may be deprived Of any one or more OF
their faculties. This Is . question de.

The following has been received in
reference to an article which appeared
in Saturdays REPUBLICAN concerning
the order known as Iron Hall:
In Saturdays March 12th) issue OF
the REPUBLICAN l notice an item about
the Order of the Iron Hall, and am sur
prissd to see the statement that the
Order OF the Iron Hall exists In ElP
land aud Wales with q mem bersbip [
over 700, 900. This statement Is not cor .
rect, and l trust you will please gly Q
me o chance to correct Ii. TIE Engli b
societies to which this clause reie rs
have o connection whatever with the
Order OF the Iron Hall. Ths mistake
+ eferred TO originated, no doubt, in the
following manner, and OF course your
reporter Is not TO blame for the blnnder:
Some time during last month Branch
No. 88, o. l. H., of the city OF PniIsde l.
phia, gave an anniversary entertain
ment at St. Georges Hall.
During the evening one Of the speak.
ers endesvored toshow that CO operative
associations have existed in England
and Wales for more than six hundred
years, and that there are at this date in
England and Wales thousands of CO
operative associations with q member
ship OF over 100000, and that these
associations disbursed AID ho.d millions
of dollars
This be said to show that CO. optra-
tive societies were not OF mushroom
growth, and that the Iron Hail OF
America Hall was built upon o solid
Foundation. The speaker was evidently
not Understood, as some papers on tie
following morning published the state.
ment to which refer, and which is not
correct.
The oreer of the Iron Hall is purely
American institution. To date March
l5th) We have 449 branches; %, 900 cor
tifioates have been issued. We have
paid S652 ,676 90 for sick benefits, and
